A
WISH
Not for a moment
may you stray
From truth's secure
unerring way !
May no delights decoy !
O'er roses may your
footsteps move,
Your smiles be ever
smiles of love
Your tears be tears of joy.

T.S.

EVER TRUE
Nothing ever can estrange
Me from thee, no time
can change
Aught of that underlying love
Which misfortune
would but prove
What though eyes less brightly shine
Love will make their light divine,
What though auburn change to grey
Love will still increase each day.

Words:

I love thee truly
Would you know dear,
what is love
That each fond heart
so can move ?
Love is like a lily fair,
Spotless, pure, beyond
compare
Love is like a diamond bright
Priceless, full of liquid light,
Love is like the stars that shine
With a radiance divine.

Each printed card: 17.5cm high by 9.0cm wide (excluding fringe)

This card as a whole would normally be found inside a cardboard box, and is hence recorded here.
As can be seen, the front cover of the card is padded, with a woven motif of flowers. The three internal printed card each have a silk fringe, and have the printed " T.S. " initials which define them as being of Thomas Stevens manufacture. The whole card would normally be affixed in a box on the short left hand edge, with the printed Stevens logo probably on the inside of the box lid.
